Under health-care reform (obamacare), when will there be less restrictions on mental-health sessions?

In Early 2014: Early next year, the affordable care act will mandate that the mental health benefit of your insurance policy must be equal to the medical health benefit of your insurance policy.This is called "parity". Some states, such as ma, have enjoyed parity in the mental health benefit of their insurance plans for years. It works well and allows people to get the tx they need for depression, addictions etc.

Mental Health Parity: In california, where it appears you are, there is already a mental health parity law in place. In 2014 the parity provisions of national health care reform kick in.
